So, if you make a graph of the intensity of this pulse, it will start at zero, climbing gently to form a single peak, and then declining again to zero.<br />But one can also imagine that as a collection of waves with different wavelengths. What was once a single peak a single pulse of light, is the result of the sum of a series of waves oscillating up and down and overlapping on each other.<br />In the center of the wrist, the various waves align and reinforce each other, unlike the ascent and descent of the pulse, where the waves are out of sync and end up canceling.<br />Magic sandwich<br />The team from the universities of California (USA) and Imperial College London (Great Britain), author of the first study, adopted this point of view and built a hybrid material capable of reducing the speed of some wavelengths of light more than others.<br />This changed the way waves line up and shifted that peak-the point where the various waves reinforce doing peak jump ahead at a speed greater than the speed of light.<br />The material is a sandwich containing a copper perforated plate placed between two layers of Teflon 0.79 mm. These two layers keep the brightness and the direction of light waves, while the pattern of holes in the metal strengthens these waves.<br />The result was that the peak of the pulse of light emerged from the other side of the sandwich before entering the sandwich itself.<br />While the earlier experiments were less than 1% of pulses of light breaking the cosmic speed limit, the interaction between the metal and the teflon allowed up to 10% of the light to reach the other side 100 picoseconds before than they would if obeyed traffic rules cosmic.<br />Interpretation of relativity<br />But this doesn't violate the theory of relativity because this would require that the individual waves travel at a speed exceeding the exactly 299,792,458 meters per second.<br />Today, physicists interpret the relativity of a slightly more subtle: they consider that the theory of relativity States that the information cannot be transmitted faster than light.<br />And is the front of the first waves overlap-and not the exact position of the peak pulse of light-that determines the speed at which information can flow. This is why this experiment does not dispute the result of recent research which showed that the precursor of a photon optical does not exceed the speed of light.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-24546916363758145872012-08-19T10:21:00.000-07:002012-08-19T10:21:00.108-07:00effects of pi ...Good afternoon (at least in Portugal:-)).<br />I'm new to the forum and by polls haven't figured out this curiosity.

Why is considered "forever young" and receive the nickname "Peter Pan of the sea".<br /><br />The fact that they do not try metamorphosis and not age is due to the fact that your pituitary gland does not release a hormone that activates the thyroid glands. Administering you thyroid hormones, thyroxine, scientists have managed to do with age, develop lungs and turns into an adult form that does not exist in nature.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-73987210680264156492012-08-15T10:18:00.000-07:002012-08-15T10:18:00.549-07:00Discovered the first iridescent mammal in the world.The iridescence – a luminous phenomenon caused by different forms of refraction of light, how a rainbow on the surface – just be detected on the skin of Golden moles.<br /><br />In addition to the "bright eyes" of nocturnal mammals, the discovery marks the first evidence of iridescence in mammals. And another surprise: the Golden moles are completely blind.<br /><br />"They are very silky and has almost a metallic look and bright with colors ranging from blue to green," said co-author of the study, Matthew Shawkey.<br /><br />Shawkey thought in studying the Golden moles after an alumna it, Holly Snyder, wrote his thesis on the iridescence. Snyder is the main author of the new study.<br /><br />So it was accomplished, scientists took by four specimens of the Mole. Using highly technological equipment such as electron microspia, they analyzed the structures of hair, even the smallest elements.<br /><br />And they determined that by iridescent are Yes. Then discovered that each by has a flattened format with little cuticular scale, which offers a good surface for the reflection. The scales form multiple layers of light.<br /><br />Optical models suggest that these layers act as reflectors that produce the color from the interference of light. The sensitivity of this mechanism explains the variety of colors.<br /><br />What remains a mystery is why blind animals have this by so captivating.<br /><br />The ancestors of moles had vision, then it is possible that the iridescence is a legacy of those times. "However, these animals are already pretty far from its ancestors, then there has to be some kind of selective pressure to keep its color intact," comments Shawkey.<br /><br />Another possibility is that the away predators. But Shawkey says that the brightness "would leave them more attracted", generating the reverse effect. Moles are not poisonous, so the color does not serve as a warning of danger.<br /><br />The researchers actually think the iridescence is a product of the composition, since its structure allows animals a good circulation through the mud and sand.<br /><br />"Many of the nanostructures that produce iridescent colors have optical properties such as stiffness and repelling water," explains Shawkey. "In the case of moles, clearly there is a communication function, then is a product of by".<br /><br />The iridescence existed for at least 50 million years, since with this unique coloring beetles were discovered. An iridescent bird, with at least 40 million years ago, was also documented as well as old shells. Today some birds, snakes and fish have the phenomenon.<br /><br />In the future, Shawkey and his team expect to study better the iridescence, and enter your function in moles and other species.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-44666366947589472292012-08-13T10:17:00.000-07:002012-08-13T10:17:00.647-07:00The monkeys take complex decisionsFor many monkeys are stupid and simple, however, increasingly, scientists have evidence otherwise. A recent study with four species of great apes revealed that are able to act by analyzing your chances of success and make decisions more sophisticated than previously thought.<br /><br />The researchers, whose work was published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE, performed his experiment with bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees. Presented to the animals two bananas: the lowest was always in the same place and the largest was hidden each time in a different location. The apes were taking decisions based on the probability of success. Chose the smaller banana as more uncertain was the place where obscured the great, that is, the lower was their probability of guessing correctly.<br /><br />Furthermore, chimpanzees and orangutans were more likely to take risky decisions, while gorillas and bonobos were more cautos in his behavior. This study confirms the idea that the mental activity of apes is much more complex than previously thought.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-18661051622356653032012-08-11T10:15:00.000-07:002012-08-11T10:15:00.669-07:00Scientists manufacture ants "super soldiers".When eight soldier ants, with bizarre giant heads, were collected in a wild colony of New York, scientists knew that they had found something interesting. The discovery of these giant versions, whose job it is to defend the nest, led researchers to create their own super ants soldiers with the help of hormones, and so understand how the ants, and possibly other social insects, acquire specific forms to work only in the colonies.<br />What happened is that these ants were abnormal in an ancestral State, one that does not appear to be, apparently, in accidental cases. This phenomenon happens occasionally in some places, as in whales that develop human ancestors or members with tails.<br />"Already we know for a long time that this type of error occurs," says one of the study's scientists, Abouheif Ehad. "What we are showing for the first time is that there is a potential ancestor, and when provoked by this potential can be released to increase the evolution".<br />Meet the super soldiers<br />The species Pheidole morrisi, collected in New York, has normally two types of Ant worker: the smallest, responsible for health care, food, feed and care for eggs and larvae of the Queen; and the soldier, who defend the nest and use their large Mandibles to break seeds brought by the other.<br />This species does not have super soldiers, but the loggerhead resemble ants that exist in eight species in South America and Northern Mexico. All nine species belong to the genus Pheidole, which houses about 1100 species.<br />So it makes sense that the "aberrations" reveal something about the origin of the super soldiers among the other eight species.<br />Fabricating a super soldier<br />To reveal this mystery, the researchers, led by Rajendhran Rajakumar, observed the development of larvae of super soldiers in two of the eight species which normally produce. (The researchers wanted to study the behavior of p. morrisi collected, but they were killed in the laboratory by other ants).<br />The role of an Ant in the colony is determined by changes in the environment, during larval development. Adult ants can handle these changes, for example, by applying certain hormones, called pheromones, the larva.<br />In the first period of development, this change determines whether the egg will turn a Queen or worker, and secondly, determines if it's going to be a soldier or minor worker.<br />Just before the second change, scientists have applied a chemical that acts as a juvenile hormone in larvae of three species that do not produce super soldiers. This type of hormone is involved in transcription of environment data, such as nutrition, to the identity of the larva. To apply it artificially, researchers crossed the natural barriers and created super soldiers.<br />But these copies of laboratory were not equal to natural ants. As adults, the super lab soldiers continued with traces of wings, something common that lose when mature. "The potential to be a super soldier is there, but a little raw," says Abouheif.<br />The researchers also analyzed the expression of a gene involved in the development of the wings, and found similarities between the soldiers induced in the laboratory and the natural. They also found similar changes in two natural species of super soldiers, which indicates that rely on the same development engine.<br />So, for the super soldiers? They seem to have an obvious function of Defense. During an attack, they use their large heads to block the tunnels of the nest, keeping attackers out. Moreau suggests another reason for stocks of these great soldiers: grind seeds. They manage to grind some larger than the ordinary soldiers.<br />A genealogical tree of mystery<br />The research may help solve the mystery of the origin of these super soldiers. A study of Corrie Moreau, revealed that one of the species with super soldiers are near the base of the family tree very near Pheidole, Ant ancestor. The other species with alternative soldiers are scattered by the tree.<br />According to Moreau, there are two possible explanations for this arrangement: or each developed their own ways to create super soldiers, or the mechanism has evolved from a common ancestor between 35 and 60 million years ago. The work of the team of Abouheif points to the second, that the super soldiers dating from the base of the tree.<br />The implications go beyond the ants. "The question becomes: ' all insects use a path similar to that of ants with giant head or is this group's special," he says. "This suggests that we should look for paths preserved of evolution, through the tree of life."Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-41957409322973412012012-08-09T10:14:00.000-07:002012-08-09T10:14:00.936-07:00Insects like you have never seen before.The insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, with approximately 1 million species described, more than all other groups of animals together. It is estimated that there are 200 million insects for every human being and some tingling can contain more than 20 million individuals, i.e. almost two populations of the city of São Paulo there in your backyard. The insects are characterised by having one pair of antennae, three pairs of legs and (not necessarily) two pairs of wings.<br /><br />As stated previously, the insects are part of the most diverse group of animals on the planet. Although there is a consensus among entomologists, it is estimated that there are from 5 to 10 million different species, with 1 million already catalogued.<br /><br />The most interesting thing about these animals is that they can be found in nearly all ecosystems on the planet, although only a small number of species have adapted to marine life.<br /><br />Just to have an idea of this diversity, almost entirely unknown, there are approximately 5 thousand species of Odonata (dragonflies), 20 thousand of Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets), 170 thousand of Lepidoptera (butterflies), 120 thousand of Diptera (flies), 82 thousand Hemipteros (bed bugs and aphids), 350 thousand of Coleoptera (beetles) and 110 thousand of Hymenópteros (bees, wasps and ants).

In this day the Day of the Restoration of Independence is commemorated.<br /><br />You want to know reason?<br />Everything started in ends of séc. XVI: the king of Portugal was D. Sebastião.<br /><br />In 1578, D. Sebastião died in the battle of Alcácer-Quibir, in the north of Africa. Portugal was, thus, without king, therefore D. Sebastião was very new and not yet it had children, did not have direct heirs for the Portuguese crown.<br /><br />Thus, who went up to the throne was Cardinal D. Enrique, who was uncle-grandfather of D. Sebastião. But it only reigned during two years because nor all were in accordance with it as new king.<br />But attention: these things never are simple, had many candidates and this gave much confusion…<br /><br />In 1580, in the Cuts To take, Filipe II, king of Spain, were chosen as the new king of Portugal. The reason for the choice was simple: Filipe II was son of the princess D. Isabel and also grandson of Portuguese king D. Manuel, therefore it had right to the throne.<br /><br />In this height, it was frequent to happen marriages between people of the cuts of Portugal and Spain, what it made with that had Portuguese Spaniard that they belonged to the family real Portuguese and who belonged to the Spanish real family.<br /><br />During 60 years, a period was lived in Portugal that was known in History as “Domain Phillipino”. After the reign of Filipe II (I of Portugal), it came the governação of Filipe III (II of Portugal) and Filipe IV (III of Portugal). These kings governed Portugal and Spain at the same time, as one only country.<br /><br />The Portuguese had finished for rebelling themselves against this situation and, in day 1 of December of 1640, they had ended the reign of the Spanish king in a palaciano blow (a blow alone to knock down the king and its government).<br /><br />In the height, the Duchess of Mântua was vice-queen and Miguel de Vasconcelos was notary of the Farm of the Kingdom. He had immense to be able.<br />In day 1 of December of 1640, the Restoratives had killed it shot and were defenestrado (shot of the window below) in the Paço of the Ribeira.<br /><br />Filipe III abandoned the throne of Portugal and the Portuguese had chosen D. João IV, duke of Bragança, as new king.<br /><br />Day 1 of December every year passed to be commemorated as the Day of the Restoration of the Independence of Portugal, since the throne came back toward a Portuguese king.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-82089060971040146082012-03-10T00:41:00.000-08:002012-03-10T00:41:00.059-08:00Nobody is vegetarian!A lettuce leaf can be the home of insects and clams - and, probably, one of them already was to stop more in the distracted stomach.

Seven to the day are the sufficient to get the benefits for the health discovered in the studies.<br /><br />The researcher said despite it has another advantage in choosing the nuts as antirust substance source.<br /><br />“The heat of the torrados fruits generally reduces the quality of antirust substances, but the people generally eat the raw nuts. Therefore, they are more efficient”, explained.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-2105265450510825312011-12-06T00:44:00.000-08:002011-12-06T00:44:00.167-08:00Eggs of Virgin, one would iguaria Chinese cozida in piss.In the majority of the places of the world, the spring is marked by the coloring and smells of flowers unclasping, but in Chinese cities as Dongyang I smell it characteristic is of piss for the streets. I do not smell it of drunk foliões mijando in walls and alleys, but emanated of great Egg vases of Virgin. Known for dan Tongzi (literally boy egg ") they are one old listed culinária tradition as part of the cultural património of Dongyong, fellow creature to tea eggs - eggs cooked in soy gravy and vinegar. The only difference is that the Eggs of Virgin are cooked in piss.<br /><br />Salesmen collect piss of virgin boys in the schools of first degree around of the city and use as the main ingredient for its incpmum would iguaria of street. Buckets of plático are placed outside of the classrooms and the boys are remembered to make pee in them, unless they are sick. The pee is then used daily pay-to cook eggs, the rind then is lightly broken to allow that the flavor adentre and after that is cooked again.<br /><br />All the hard process of stew and lathe of one day entire. Some people say that they have the flavor of the spring, while others affirm that they are so gostosos that they could eat a dozen per day.<br /><br />According to local belief, the Eggs of Virgin help to diminish the heat of the body to help to face the hot days of summer, and improve the sanguineous circulation, despite piss does not contain, basically, no propitious substance for the health human being.<br /><br />One chef of local kitchen said that it plans to export the “technique” so that people of ocidente can prove the taste of the such egg. Of any form, if you were interested in proving, are enough to obtain a bucket of piss and stocking dozen of eggs to know the delights of mijados eggs.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-38222995515707205552011-12-04T00:44:00.000-08:002011-12-04T00:44:01.118-08:00Apple prevents cardiac illnessesA new study presented in American Dietetic Association (ADA) in the annual Conference of Feeding and Nutrition it disclosed plus a benefit of surprising health acquired by the apple ingestion.<br /><br />According to research made in the University of Michigan Health System, to eat apples and derivatives estresse reduces it oxidativo in the organism, it increases the cardiac function and of the health and reduces the high pressure and the cholesterol. He is not toa that when I small age my father said always me:<br />“Ein Apfel am Tag… und Ihr Doktor bleibt arbeitslos”, that is, “an apple per day… and its doctor goes to be dismissed”.<br /><br />For the study, the scientists had tested the effect of the pectina of apple, a rich composition in staple fibres found in apples (logical), and they had used in rats that were inclined to the obesidade. They had compared the rats in the groups of apple and the other group of rats fed with a diet standard without apples. All the rats consumed constant amounts of the total of calories, sugars and staple fibres.<br /><br />In the end of the period of evaluation, the rats in the groups of apple had presented considerable improvements in the health in general, with little cases of cardiac illness that the group of rats that was not fed with apples.<br /><br />E this research was a little more ahead. They had caught the group of rats that was fed with apples, and had added an American typical diet, with high text of fat. Together with this greasy diet, a made liofilizado entire apple dust was given to the group. It is as if it was a concentrated nutricional apple supplement. The results had shown a benefit of health of the heart that was beyond the cholesterol reduction by itself “, explain the Dr. Mitch Seymour, leader researcher of the study.<br /><br />The powerful antirust substances and fitoquímicos in apples help to reduce the actual damages for the free radicals. As result, the main markers of the cardiac illness are mitigated.<br /><br />The apples are equally beneficial for the digestive system, because they supply to the intestine healthful bacteria and if you to want to prevent cancer development, know that the apple rind is rich in composites triterpenóides that they hinder the formation of cancerous cells. But also, unhappyly, she is rich in agrotóxico. Thus, it prefers apples organic or then it washes them very well. It leaves them in a solution of 1litro of water with a sodium bicarbonate soup spoon. It leaves apples of gravy at least one hour. Later it washes them in current water still more.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-26523118432404863632011-12-02T00:41:00.000-08:002011-12-02T00:41:00.476-08:00How and when appeared the tinned food?It was created in century XIX to take care of to basic a military necessity: to conserve foods for armies in campaign. Process that it prevents that the food ruins, preserving it in containers closed and esterilizados by heating, started to be developed in France for cook Nicolas Appert, in 1795. Its bigger motivation rewards was offered it for the French government who developed a method that hindered deterioration it foods for consumption them troops it country. Appert used covered with corks and stamped glass jars with wax, kept in water fervente to preserve, among others things, soups, juices, laticínios and candies. The result of this experience was published in a book that arrived at the hands of the English trader Peter Durand. In 1810, Durand patented the use of containers coated with tins, the future can, beyond the vasilhames of glass used by Appert. In 1815, the French and British soldiers already fed themselves with tinned.<br /><br />In 1830, these products had left of being, in the Europe, military exclusiveness, but the search for soups, sardines, peas and tomatoes vendidos in the new type of packing was weak because of the high price. Exactly thus, the newness arrived at the United States, where, in 1926, the texana company Hormel launched a product that would make much success: the presuntada one in can of famous mark Spam (whose name - abbreviation of spiced ham, “spiced ham” - curiously capsized synonymous indesejado email). From the decade of 30, the tinned ones if had become all popular in the planet and today about 200 billion cans of food they are produced annually.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-49274995760634525202011-11-30T00:41:00.000-08:002011-11-30T00:41:00.521-08:00Scientists find new bacterium that lives of caffeine.Scientists of the University of Iwoa, in the United States, had discovered a new a bacterium that lives of caffeine in a type of flower that had in the campus. The putida Pseudomonas digests the existing caffeine in the ground and some species of plants, as the coffee, grass-kills and the cacao.<br /><br />Previous research already showed some bacteria that if they fed of the present caffeine in vegetables and served as natural pesticides. But not if wise person as they digested the composition. Now the researchers had discovered that putida the Pseudomonas bacterium uses the N-demethylase enzyme to break the caffeine in dioxide of carbon and ammonia, thus to use to advantage it.<br /><br />The team isolated the genes of the putida P. that they had distrusted to be the responsible ones for producing the caffeine enzyme digestora. Later they had inserted the genes in a different bacterium and capsize that it also started to digest the composition.<br /><br />The discovery will be able to help in the treatment of some problems of health. This because the by-products generated for the caffeine in addition are the base for some used remedies to treat asthma, to improve the sanguineous flow and to fight the cardiac arrhythmia. As these products they are difficult to be produced in laboratory, the enzyme of the bacterium could be a simpler form to manufacture them.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-35232479088393805062011-11-28T00:40:00.000-08:002011-11-28T00:40:01.847-08:00The 9 myths of the feeding.THE BREAD FATTENING?<br /><br />He is false to say that the bread fattening and that who is to make diet does not have to eat it. This food supplies about 250 kcal/100 g and, as any food, must be eaten with moderation. The great problem is not the bread by itself, but yes what we join to it. To have an idea… 10g of butter kcal has 90 approximately. Also it is not truth that the integral bread gets fat less than the white bread, therefore supplies the same calories significantly. But the integral bread (or it mixes, rye, 7 cereals) is nutricionalmente richer of what the white bread, supplying vitamins, minerals and alimentary fiber that, as related, are nutrient basic in our feeding.<br /><br />2. WITHOUT MEAT WE DO NOT HAVE VITALITY?<br />It is a common error to say that she is necessary to ingest much meat, of preference a beefburger, to have energy. White Teresa says that “it is necessary to ingest meat, but is not through an ingestion in surplus that I go to have more available energy. This ingestion in surplus alone will serve to store a great amount of saturated fat”. Already Francisco Varatojo remembers that the macrobióticos have vitality without eating meat and that they go to search proteins and other nutrients to the leguminosas as the beans and the grain, for example.<br /><br />3. THE MILK OF - US STRONG BONES?<br />“It does not have nothing that confirms that she is necessary to drink milk to have strong bones”, it underlines Francisco Varatojo. The macrobiótico remembers that it is in the occidental countries, where if consumes lacticínios more, that more ósseas fractures and cases of osteoporose are registam and that the orientals have a more resistant skeleton and consume little milky products. One of the explanations must it the fact of the lacticínios be had much protein that finishes for eliminating calcium in time that holding. To strengthen vitamins, and D also the red food ingestion as vegetal, hortícolas, fruits or oranges are advised to a solar exposition of 15 minutes daily and green leaf, fish fat people and eggs.<br /><br />4. LEAN PRODUCTS LIGHT OR MAKE EMAGRECER?<br />Blessed Alexandra demystifies this idea. Although “theoretically to have little calories of what the products not “light”, does not want to say that if can eat the amount that if it desires without getting fat”. E calls the attention for the necessity to be intent to the labels of foods: “Many times, the manufacturers remove the fat, but they substitute it for other ingredients that can present calories and therefore the energy value of the end item can very not be inferior to the one of the conventional product.”<br /><br />5. THE BANANAS GET FAT?<br />A small banana has the same calories that an apple or an orange, does not have fruit that gets fat more than what to another one, is only necessary to have in attention the amounts. In the fruit, transformed into the highest point, vitamin C is degraded and the natural sugars (frutose) are consumed of more intent form and provoke more dental carieses.<br /><br />6. THE WATER TO THE MEALS FATTENING?<br />It is said that if it does not have to drink water to the meals or during the physical efforts, but is a myth. Without the nutrient water, a good hidratação does not exist and nothing it functions. However, as it relates Francisco Varatojo, also it does not make sensible none to say that to be healthful we need to drink three liters of water per day. E the water of the tap more is balanced in essential minerals for the health that the bottled mineral.<br /><br />7. FISH DOES NOT PULL WAGON?<br />He is false to say that the fish does not feed. According to Blessed Alexandra, “the fish is more easily digested of what the meat and a protein source of raised quality”, having a reduced text of fat more. Moreover, it adds: “The fats of the fish are more healthful. The fish fat person, as the sardine, the salmon, the herring, presents ómega 3, acid fat people who seem to present many benefits for the health.” One of the forms to delay the digestion of the fish, is to more follow the meal with other foods of delayed digestion, nominated vegetal folhosos, as borecoles and leguminosas as peas, beans, garbanzo bean, lentils…<br /><br />8. THE OIL IS A HEALTHFUL FAT AND THEREFORE FATTENING LESS?<br />The oil, although to be a healthful fat, fattening in such a way how much the other fats. Each 100 oil g supplies 900 to us kcal. Therefore the oil must be used with account, weight and measure. But that if it prefers oil other saturated fats as oils. It is that the oil has other nutricionais advantages, since is rich in antirust substances, diminishes the cholesterol levels and contributes for the reduction of the risk of illness cardiovascular and determined types of cancer.<br /><br />9. IT HAS GOOD FOODS AND BAD FOODS?<br />“Of the point of view of the nutrition, it does not have good foods, nor bad foods”, underlines Alexandra Blessed. Any food can be part of a balanced feeding and therefore the advice to have a healthful feeding is to vary most possible. Exactly the rich foods in fats or sugar, that are pointed as little healthful, do not have to be banished of the feeding of a healthful person, but to be ingested with account, weight and measure.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-82167208818583976672011-11-26T00:39:00.000-08:002011-11-26T00:39:00.550-08:00Brazil studies to include insects in the diet of the peopleAlready it thought to go to the supermarket and, instead of 1 kg of bovine meat, to buy 500 grasshopper g, cricket or larva of ant? Therefore this reality can be part of the life of all the Brazilians very soon!<br />Owner of a company that creates and commercializes insects, the mining entrepreneur Otávio Luiz You can Gonçalves asked for to the Ministry of Agriculture, Cattle and Supplying that its business recognized as a “producing establishment of insects for human consumption” and finished fomenting, in the government, the debate on the legalization of the entomofagia - that is, the practical one to eat insects - in Brazil.<br />The Ministry of Agriculture not yet answered to the order of Gonçalves, but it asked for bibliographical indication to the entrepreneur, alleging that if it deals with controversial subject, but that it will be argued, for representing real chance to fight the global heating in Brazil and the world.<br />This because, in accordance with research of the University of Wageningen, in Holland, the creation of insects emits an amount of gases of the effect very lesser greenhouse of what the cattle one. In the case of grasshoppers, for example, the methane emission arrives to be 10 times lesser and of nitrous oxide, 300 times. Moreover, the production of insects also would help in the preservation of the forests, that they would not need to be destroyed for the advance of the pastures.<br />Data of the FAO - Organization of United Nations for Agriculture and the Feeding - that also walks arguing the possibility to include insects in the diet human being - still they show that about 80% of the countries they possess insects in its cardápio and 23 of these nations are in the American continent. It will be that the Ministry of Agriculture will legalize the entomofagia and Brazil will be the next one to enter, officially, for this list?<br />In case that the proposal of Gonçalves is accepted, for the entomofagia, really, to make the difference in the combat to the global heating, the population would have that to change to the bovine meat and suína for the one of insect. You would change?Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-17338767443490356732011-11-24T04:36:00.000-08:002011-11-24T04:39:03.716-08:00Top 10 foods that detonate its healthWhat it does not kill, fattening, said our mothers. Or we ourselves, when we want to eat salgadinho that it fell in the soil. The problem is that some things not only get fat (and very), as well as can kill to the few.<br /><br />But it does not need to be despaired. This that does not want to say that we cannot more eat that portion of potato fries or that one docinho in the dessert. “Nothing it is forbidden, but these foods must be consumed with lesser frequency. A reasonable measure is to include an one of them in the cardápio time per week. But only one of them. To eat dog-hot with potato fries, for example, never”, it explains Flavia Moral, coordinator of the department of nutrition of the net of natural products Green World. The tip of it is to look at the label of the product to check its ingredients. E is intent: the first item of the list of ingredients, generally, is what it is present in bigger amount in the food. Therefore, if sugar or fat will be in the top of the list in the packing, either better to perhaps look a more healthful option.<br /><br />With the aid of nutritionists, we list the 10 types of more harmful foods to the health. Care with them!<br /><br />10 - Sugar<br /><br />“The sugar, in special the fine one, is 100% calorie, without nutricional value”, affirms the Thais nutritionist. Yes, it becomes the life and foods more candies and all. But, when consumed in excess, he is stored in our body under the form of triglicérides, increasing the risk of the development of cardiovascular illnesses. Moreover, for being caloric, he can lead to the obesidade and, with it, increase the risk of diabetes, hipertensão and dislipidemias. According to nutritionists, as much sacarose (table sugar) how much the sugars of industrial use are related to me the quality of the health. Then, already he saw: nothing to sweeten excessively cafezinho.<br /><br />9 - Margarina<br /><br />According to one it searches dutch, some margarinas provoke as much males for the arteries how much the fat of animal origin, known as saturated. Aa margarinas is of vegetal origin, that is, its insaturadas fats do not costumam if to deposit in the sanguineous vases. But the dutches had observed that a component of definitive margarinas, the acid elaídico, even so if does not accumulate in the vases, provoke the reduction of the beneficial lipídios of high density. These receive the nickname from good cholesterol, because they clean the organism of the fat of low density, the bad cholesterol, that obstructs the circulation of the blood. As of the one not to know if definitive mark it contains or not it substance, sends regards that for precaution, if it prevents any type of fat.<br /><br />8 - Barbecue<br /><br />Ok, to fry is bad. But it takes care when to decide to also make a barbecue. In this in case that, the problem is in the preparation process, and not with the food: according to Thais nutritionist, the smoke of the coal liberates aromatical tar and policíclicos hydro-carbons, substances with high cancerígeno potential.<br /><br />7 - Frituras<br /><br />Exactly that you use vegetal oil of good quality to fry its potatoes or beefburger, to eat foods fritos makes badly. The fritura makes with that chemical alterations in the used oil occur, leaving of being a source of insaturada fat (in the case of vegetal oils), basic for our health, and giving place to the saturated fat, that in excess can cause diverse illnesses. This process can also promote the formation of the fat trans, that directly it is related to the increase of cardiovascular illnesses and the worsening of the picture of health in a general way. Moreover, the extreme heat ruins the chemical structure of the fat molecule, producing a substance potentially cancerígena call acroleína.<br /><br />6 - Cooling<br /><br />“Beyond possessing many artificial substances in its composition, the cooling one contains almost null nutricional value”, affirms Thais. The variations glue, in special, have a great amount of fosfatos, that in excess provoke the release of calcium and the consequent weakness of the bones, facilitating the incidence of illnesses as osteoporose. “Beyond being rich in sugar, the drink has the capacity to deceive the related organic systems to the control of the ingested calories, presenting close relation with the extreme profit of weight and the obesidade”, adds Rafael Clearly. E, unless you are diabetic, does not advance to try diet - they are still worse! “Cooling they contain many chemical substances, but at least they are made with sugar, that is something that the body recognizes and can digest. Already cooling diet, beyond all these substances, still contain aspartame as sweetener. Its metabolization generates methanol, toxic substance for the neurons that, in excess, neural degeneration provokes and is related the illnesses as badly of Alzheimer”, explains Flavia Moral.<br /><br />5 - Salgadinhos<br /><br />It is this same. Another dangerous delight that we adore to consume at ócio moments. The salgadinhos also are sources of monossódico glutamato, that sódico salt that creates a encorpado flavor to the product. But you already saw back in item 3 of what this composition is capable.<br /><br />4 - Stuffed biscuit<br /><br />These small temptations with chocolate filling, strawberry or what it will be are non-separable of idle afternoons in the front of the television attending some film on one galera of the racket preparing high confusions. “Loaded with sugars, these small dainties possess frightful energy density”, say the nutritionist Clearly Rafael Moreira, Researcher of the Department of Nutrition of the College of Public Health of the USP. Beyond the sugar excess, the stuffed biscuits still contain much saturated fat, what it favors the increase of the LDL (the “bad cholesterol”) and the reduction of the HDL, considered the “good cholesterol”. The disequilibrium in the cholesterol taxes is factor of risk for the sprouting of serious cardiovascular illnesses. E, to complete, the used additives to give color to these big cookies also are harmful to the health and are associates to the hiperatividade and deficit of attention.<br /><br />3 - Industrialized broths and temperos<br /><br />It decided to cook? Good for you. But another tip goes here: it makes its proper one I temper and I forget the industrialized ones. They possess high sodium texts and monossódico glutamato. Sodium, if consumed beyond the recommended daily limits, can lead to the development of the hipertensão or to get worse the problem if it already exists. The problem of the glutamato is still worse: studies have shown that to our it uses it organism as a transmitter of nervous impulses in the brain and its consumption has been associated with learning difficulties, Badly of Alzheimer, Parkinson and cancer.<br /><br />2 - Inlaid (sausage, linguiça, mortadela, ham, salame)<br /><br />Ok, you is not adept of the congealed ones, but lanchinho of mortadela adores one. Or a dog-hot one. We feel to inform, but you are not in a better situation, not. “These foods to the meat base, known as inlaid works, had been invented to facilitate the preparations and to increase the stated period of validity of the food. The problem is that they possess greater text of fat saturated in relation to the natural meat”, explains Thais Souza. This type of fat, found mainly in products of animal origin, brings risks to the health when ingested in excess, therefore it stimulates the increase of the cholesterol levels and the risk of development of cardiovascular illnesses. The inlaid works also contain sodium excess - what it can provoke high pressure - and corantes - that they can cause allergies and problems in the stomach. Finally, still it has there many conservantes, as the nitrito and nitrate. Into our organism, them they are converted into potentially cancerígenas substances.<br /><br />1 - Congealed ready meals<br /><br />You arrive in hunger house dying and are tired excessively to cook something. Then, he looks at for the microwaves, one remembers lasanha frozen that he has in bendiz freezer and this pretty technology that facilitates its life. But it is good for not empolgar itself in such a way. This type of half-soon food is rich in saturated fat, that makes to go up the levels of the bad cholesterol and increases the risk to develop cardiovascular illnesses. “Such meals also are rich in sodium that, in excess, can cause increase of the arterial pressure”, it affirms the Thais nutritionist Souza. It decided to change for the pizza? It does not advance. The risk is, basically, the same.Curiosityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12432468987578558730noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725966285044955771.post-24985108577611098632011-11-24T04:23:00.000-08:002011-11-24T04:25:36.263-08:00Blind Turn MovieIf you're in love with movies I'm sure you'll love the <a href="http://www.blindturnmovie.com"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Blind Turn Official Website</span></a> and coming to the you can check out a movie trailer and get more information about this fantastic movie Movies might be the best way to motivate people to do or not to do something.
